AI platform for dynamic power orchestration in data centers and electrical grids
Utilidata builds AI-driven power management systems embedded in data center hardware and grid infrastructure. The tech stack—NVIDIA GPUs, vLLM, Triton, TensorRT, Kubernetes, plus low-level device layers (FPGA, Verilog, UART, I2C)—reveals a company balancing high-performance ML inference with real-time embedded control. Hiring is heavily skewed toward senior engineers (7 of 11 open roles), with active projects spanning hardware development cycles (EVT/DVT/PVT) and manufacturing readiness, suggesting they're transitioning from R&D prototypes toward production scale.

Utilidata is a private AI company headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, focused on optimizing power consumption and utilization in data centers and electric grids. The core product, Karman, uses real-time telemetry and AI inference to identify underutilized electrical capacity and dynamically route compute workloads, aiming to increase data center capacity utilization by up to 50%. Founded in 2012 and backed by NVIDIA, the company has deployed solutions across both critical infrastructure domains for over a decade. With 51–200 employees and a hiring velocity centered on senior engineering talent, Utilidata is currently focused on manufacturing scale-up and hardening their inference platform for field deployment.
Karman is Utilidata's AI platform for dynamic power orchestration. It combines real-time telemetry from electrical devices with AI inference to identify unused capacity and autonomously route compute workloads, enabling data center operators to increase capacity utilization by up to 50%.
Utilidata's stack spans GPU inference (NVIDIA, TensorRT, vLLM, Triton), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), observability (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana), and embedded systems (FPGA, RTOS, UART, I2C, Verilog, VHDL). They also use Python, C++, Go, Rust, and CUDA for platform development.
Yes. Utilidata has 11 active roles, 9 in engineering, with accelerating hiring velocity. Open positions skew toward senior-level and leadership roles (7 senior, 1 lead, 1 principal, 1 VP). All hiring is currently in the United States.
